The mighty Orlesian Empire is run by the Grand Game, a dizzying dance of politics, seduction, and intrigue where nobles vie for favor with the Imperial throne. When the machinations of the Game and the cruelty of her cousin Gaspard begin to turn against her, Princesse Celene will have to rely on her wits and her elven love Briala to keep her head above the water.

For all his life, Henri Étielle has been treated like a second class citizen in the city of Whiterun. However, when the opportunity arises to study magic at the College of Winterhold, his life (and the rest of Skyrim) will change forever. Set five years before the events of Skyrim. Some liberties taken with different characters and OCs will be added.
